RCMP list of names not thorough enough

Huntsville Forester

As reported on CBC Radio News (Jan. 14, 2013), the Royal Canadian Mounted Police has finally honoured a CBC request after four years, and brought forth a list of its officers who have been convicted of criminal offences. One retired RCMP officer observes that many of the names on the list are mistakes, because superiors within the force frame underlings they want to be rid of. Somehow that does not reassure.
The names of said superiors won’t be on the list, just as the name of Guliano Zccardelli – the RCMP Commissioner who gave false testimony at the Maher Arar inquiry, embezzled monies from the police pension fund, then resigned – won’t be. Then names of the RCMP officers who tasered Robert Dziekansky to death at Vancouver Airport in full view of the world won’t be on the list either.
When first we elect corrupt politicians, the integrity of the police, courts, corrections and other government-controlled institutions crumbles shortly thereafter.
